Matt Hardy calls out "toxic" Jim Cornette fans, former WWE personality responds

AEW star Matt Hardy recently took to Twitter to voice his opinion on the fans of Jim Cornette, to which the former WWE personality responded.

Hardy recently took to social media to praise The Young Bucks and Hangman Page's match against The Dark Order on AEW Rampage and called out what he referred to as the "toxic Cornette cult," and expressed his frustration with fans who fail to appreciate the talents of The Elite.

In response to Hardy's comments, former WWE personality Jim Cornette didn't hold back. Cornette, known for his controversial remarks, took a swipe at Hardy's integrity, sarcastically referencing his alleged association with Adderall.

He also defended his fans, asserting that they shouldn't be blamed for the situation, and criticized AEW President Tony Khan for allegedly underpaying them.

​

"Jeez, Matt, I could understand selling your soul for Rock & Roll, but selling it for Adderall? Even if you have to abandon your principles and verbally fellate these childish cretins for your check, leave my fans alone, it's not their fault Tony's not paying THEM enough to lie," Cornette tweeted.

Between this & the toxic Cornette cult, these guys don’t get the adoration that they truly deserve. The diehard Elite fans are phenomenal & get why they’re special, but there’s a huge chunk of fans that fail to give them the credit they deserve. Give these guys their flowers. twitter.com/ryanoguri/stat…
